UnChained Project wants to mobilize advocates willing to provide awareness and support for survivors of child abuse living in silence in your community. Here's why;

• 40 million children globally are abused each year¹
• 1 in 3 girls / 1 in 6 boys are sexually molested before age 17¹
• Of 1.5 million U.S. runaways 85% are fleeing some form of abuse¹
• 6 reports of child abuse per minute in the U.S. = 61,000 reports to Child Protective services per week¹
• Approximately 20% of women and 5–10% of men report being sexually abused as children, while 25–50% of all children report being physically abused¹
• Adult survivors of child abuse often bury symptoms that break-through in their 20's to 40's causing debilitating personal conditions¹
• Of reported cases annually 48.5% are boys and 51.2% are females. Child abuse prefers no race, religion, ethnicity or sex above any other.¹
• Up to 45% of survivors attending a support group live below the poverty line¹
• 80% of young adults who suffered child abuse meet the criteria for at least one psychiatric disorder²

The above are some of the many child abuse statistics gathered by our parent nonprofit organization Ark of Hope for Children to highlight the reason for alarm. Click here for more child abuse statistics.
